He said, “Mashrafe’s been suffering from many injuries for a long time. Now he got a severe blow on his right hamstring and it’s tough for him to join the Sri Lanka tour. It’s up to the team management whether he will play in the upcoming series or not.”

Mashrafe suffered the injury during practice at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Friday evening. He had also suffered a hamstring injury in the final of tri-nation series against West Indies in Ireland before the World Cup.

Tigers will play a three-match ODI series against the host Sri Lanka which is set to be launched July 26.
